    "content": "to this Act. That means what has not been covered in this Bill has been covered in the National Museums and Heritage Act. We will still have to look at the other heroes. In summary, the Kenyatta Mausoleum Bill has four main themes. The first one is to protect and preserve the artefacts in the mausoleum, so that we can preserve the history of the late Jomo Kenyatta for our next generations. The second one is to create employment in this country. As it is now, we have only two Administration Police officers who are employed to guard the mausoleum. They work in shifts. At any one time, you do not have more than three employees there. When it becomes a historic site operated by the National Museums of Kenya, we will not have less than 20 employees. Thirdly, we intend to attract a lot of tourists. Parliament attracts a lot of local tourism. Students visit here every day. They have always asked how they can visit the site where the late M zee Jomo Kenyatta was buried. Even if we do not rely on the external tourism, the local tourism alone would, of course, not be enough but it will be a substantial contribution to the revenue of this country. We have to enhance the patriotism of Kenyans by ensuring that people learn about our history in knowing the artefacts that have been put there. We will have all the things that have been mentioned about Mzee Jomo Kenyatta. Many of us have not read Facing Mount Kenya . The book will be there."
